They did not got back to Brookings. The men practiced in Denver Thursday then went to the women’s game and they chartered to Fort Wayne from Denver. I believe the men and women probably took the same charter.

And there is a picture of the WBB attending the men's game in Ft Wayne....

I'm not sure the teams stopped over in S.D. after they left Denver. During Hendo's post game radio interview, it sounded like they hadn't been home since leaving for Denver. The teams traveled together, and they couldn't have flown out of Denver until late Thursday - early Friday morning after the women's game. And they were in Fort Wayne Friday afternoon as there were pictures posted of Hendo visiting ex-coach Iverson. If they did stop off in Brookings, it couldn't have been for long enough to give them any kind of advantage.

They also referenced the Horizon was an upgrade over the Summit which is debatable.

When the Roos left for the WAC, it was an easier path to Final 64. That was the intention of the admin at UMKC. The upgrade at the Horizon might be the geographical footprint as the point of view of PFW. I do not know the conference ratings between the 2, but there is likely not a big jump to the top of the conference for the basketball programs. IUPUI women and men settled in similar positions on their move. Also-a plug for Nagy and a con for Kampe-both of those coaches settled into familiar conference positions. Geography is the best guess improvement and if the mileage is figured, it may not be as great as anticipated.

Great week of basketball for the Rabbits. The team rallied on Wednsday night and went wire to wire on Satuday. A difficult road trip and two victories. Nice work Rabbits!

I found it intereesting last night during the broadcast when the announcers were talking about all the advantages SDSU has in basketball over other Summit League teams. This is hot button issue with NDSU once again winning the FCS football championship. The annoucning team discussed how difficult of a road trip this is for "most" Summit League teams. Traveling to Denver and then Ft. Wayne. They mentioned due to larger budgets and commitment to basketball that SDSU was able to charter a plane from Denver and back to Brookings from Ft. Wayne. The announcer said most Summit League teams have to fly commercial and this road trip is a nightmare for them. Maybe the chartered plane helped as the Rabbits looked very fresh in the first half and built a 20 point lead at half time. It was just interesting to listen to someone else complain about money.....

Go Rabbits!

I believe the men and women shared a charter from Denver to Ft Wayne.

Last year the Dons put up 104 points on the Jacks after they made that long road trip from Macomb so I would say the Jacks did pretty well last night.

Re: GDT:Jackrabbits vs Mastodons @ Gates Sports Center 6pm

Two road wins at this stage is really nice. If we can get two more
we should be right in the hunt for a top two seed. It’s hard imagine any team running away with the title this year.

Re: GDT:Jackrabbits vs Mastodons @ Gates Sports Center 6pm

Through 5 conference games we've had 3 different scoring leaders I believe? Wilson, Freidel, Wingett. Pretty dope.

Re: GDT:Jackrabbits vs Mastodons @ Gates Sports Center 6pm

The three time zone road trip seemed to catch up with the Jacks in the last ten minutes. The guards especially looked gassed at the end. Getting Key back will really help spread the minutes out. Teams haven't applied much back court pressure yet which surprises me, and Key will help there as well.

Re: GDT:Jackrabbits vs Mastodons @ Gates Sports Center 6pm

Wingett had 24 points. Great game for him. Any road win is pretty, especially when you shoot well and defend pretty well, as the team did tonight.

And beat Coffman

Re: GDT:Jackrabbits vs Mastodons @ Gates Sports Center 6pm

First ten mins was very pretty. After that...

Got the W.

No such thing as a bad road win. No matter how ugly.
